17. Native Star-Document Upload The Document Upload The Native Star Document Upload feature was developed and instituted in SY 2012-13 to collect specific types of supporting documents that address those components of NCLB that are not explicitly addressed by indicators. For SY 2013-14, specific documents for IDEA Part B, 21 st CCLC (Title V), and FACE have been identified to upload into the appropriate folders. The names of those documents are outlined in this Document Upload document along with a description of Acceptable Documentation, the Due Dates or Window to Upload, and a Recommended Name for the uploaded files. Schools should use the Document upload feature for documents that support the plans and not as a substitute for the succinct information entered into the indicator-based planning tool. The Document Upload Feature Document Upload enables the school to: 1.Place files in the designated folders created for the schools. 2.Place a URL in a folder that directs the viewers to a webpage or a document on a webpage. 3.Create a new folder if folders are inadvertently deleted or if an additional folder is necessary. 4.The files may be viewed and downloaded viewed by ADD and DPA staff. Folders have been created for BIE schools in the Native Star Document Upload. A folder can also be created in the Document Upload if necessary. Please be aware that a folder may only be created when a file has been selected to upload. The school enters the folder name and saves the file to the new folder. Other files may be added to the folder at any time, but a folder cannot be created without a file to put in the folder. Document Upload will accept the following file types: doc, docx, ppt, pptx, xls, xlsx, pdf, and txt with a limit of 100 MB per file. BIE establishes a limit for the number of files that may be stored at any one time.
